Having recently crossed its 60th year and more than two decades of producing the industry-standard Macro-Tech Series of power amplifiers, Crown International is commemorating both milestones with a special, one-time production run of its MA-2402, MA-3600VZ and MA-5002VZ as Anniversary Edition models. A very limited quantity of these amplifiers will be produced - only 600 in total will be available worldwide - each of which will feature a visually striking copper-plated front panel (including handles, knobs, buttons, etc.) and be shipped in a custom wood crate. The product will also be accompanied by a special brochure chronicling the history of the product from its initial concept through today as well as a specification sheet detailing the actual benchmarked performance of that very amplifier, signed and numbered by Crown Senior VP of Research Gerald Stanley, whose patented technologies and innovative design philosophies ultimately made the Macro-Tech Series a global success.Crown MA 2402 Power Amplifier
The ultimate Road Warriors the MA amps can be found in touring systems and major installs all over the world. Precision front panel attenuators, full status indication, PIP & IQ compatible, and a choice of input connectors are just part of the story. These units will drive complex low impedance loads.
The Crown Macro-Tech 02 Series amps are enchanced versions of the Macro-Tech line. They offer the same features and performance of the original Macro-Techs while delivering key added benefits that continue to expand the versatility of this distinct product line. Here are a few examples:
EnhancedPIP2(TM) (ProgrammableInput Processor) connector accepts new accessory modules that tailor theamplifier for specific applications
Balanced XLR and 1/4-inch phone jacks for each channel onthe standard PIP-FXQ module.
Full Protection from shorted, open and mismatched loads,general over-heating, DC, high-frequency overloads, and full internal faultprotection are provided by our latest protection scheme: Quad-Mute.
Features:
ODEP(R) Protection: Patented Output Device Emulation Protection (ODEP) protects the amplifier and keeps the show going under adverse conditions that cause lesser amplifiers to fail. Front panel indicators show each channel's ODEP status. Several PIPTM modules
Distortion Indicator: Advanced Input/Output Comparator (IOC(R)) alerts you if the amplifier causes any distortion of 0.05% or more.
PIP compatibility: Accommodates Programmable Input Processor (PIP) accessories that are used to customize the amplifier for specific applications. MA 02-Series amps are PIP2 compatible.
Selectable Mono Modes: (Does not apply to Macro-Tech 24x6 and 36x12) Bridge-Mono mode provides double output voltage and Parallel-Mono mode provides double output current from a single channel.
Selectable Sensitivities: Choose from three input sensitivities: 0.775 volts or 1.4 volts for full rated power into 8 ohms, or a voltage gain of 26 dB.
Detented Level Controls: Detented level controls make it easy to set and reset precise levels.
No-Fault Warranty: Crown's exceptional Three-Year, No-Fault, Full Warranty even covers round-trip shipping, and can be extended up to six years in the U.S.A.
